Challenges we solve
Where mechanical trades need support
The problems HVAC and plumbing contractors face, and how we help.
| Challenge | How we help | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Design models not detailed enough | Models developed to LOD 350–400 | Ready for fabrication |
| Clashes found on site | Coordination before release | Less rework and waste |
| Manual spool drawings | Spools produced from the model | Faster workshop output |
| Hangers placed by hand | Supports modeled and scheduled | Quicker, safer installation |
What we deliver
Ductwork and pipework that fits first time
Mechanical and plumbing installations carry the biggest share of site clashes. Coordinating ducts and pipes in the model, before anything is fabricated, is the most reliable way to avoid rework and wasted material.
We take the consultant's design model or drawings and develop them to installation level: real fittings, insulation, supports and access space. Then we coordinate with the structure and other trades and produce spools, shop drawings and installation layouts that match your fabrication workflow.
Contractors use us before construction to get packages ready for the workshop, and during construction to keep models and drawings current as changes come in from site.
What we need from you
- Design drawings or models
- Equipment selections
- Fabrication standards
- Hanger and support details
- Other trade models

Ducts, fittings and plant at installation detail.
Pipework models
Heating, chilled water and plumbing routes.
Trade coordination
Clashes resolved with structure and other trades.
Spool drawings
Pipe and duct spools with cut lengths.
Installation drawings
Coordinated layouts and sections for site teams.
Hangers and supports
Supports placed and scheduled from the model.
Plant room detail
Plant rooms and risers modeled in full.
As-built records
Models updated with site changes at handover.
Why Cadbricks
Coordination that saves material and time
Our mechanical engineers know how ductwork and pipework are fabricated and installed, so models are buildable, not just clash-free. Every project starts with a written quotation, a named point of contact and a firm delivery date, and you can begin with a small trial task.
-
Your standards first
Templates, title blocks, families and naming are set up before any work starts.
-
Independent QA
A separate reviewer checks every set against your brief and markups before delivery.
-
Overlapping hours
Shifts overlap US and UK working hours for calls, reviews and quick turnarounds.
-
Scales with your workload
Add capacity for a deadline and scale back when it passes, without hiring.
-
Confidential by default
NDAs on request, controlled access and secure transfer for every project file.
-
Trial project available
Start with a small live task to check quality and communication before committing.

FAQs
Mechanical (HVAC) & plumbing questions
Quick answers about LOD, spools, software and coordination for HVAC and plumbing contractors.
LOD 350 for coordination and LOD 400 when the model drives fabrication and spooling.
Yes, with cut lengths and part lists.
Industry-standard MEP modeling, coordination and fabrication platforms, depending on your workflow.
Yes, placed and scheduled to your standards.
Yes: structure, electrical, fire protection and architecture, before anything is released.
Yes. Duct, pipe, fitting and hanger quantities come straight from the coordinated model.
Yes. A single floor or plant room is a sensible first package.
Files are shared only with the people working on your project, through secure transfer or your own platform. We sign NDAs on request and never reuse your drawings, models or data on other work.
Use whatever suits you: email, a file-sharing link or your own common data environment. Within a working day of receiving the package, we send a short list of questions so nothing is left to guesswork.
